Song would have been a hit if he didn't challenge Kanye. That turned people against him and started the hipster era.
50 was hated long before that, beefing with LOX/Fat Joe/Game hurt his image a lot, Game's 300 bars diss single handily made G Unit
50 was the most popular rapper in the game, possibly all of music until Jada dropped checkmate then his popularity started to decline from there on out.
I don't see why people would turn on Fif for challenging Kanye, it was friendly competition and it was a GREAT moment in Hip Hop history, especially how different the subject matter was on the two albums.
I would love to see two popular rappers drop on the same day again, I hope Jay's next album drops the same day as the Carter 5
